Don't count me out . . . I just conducted 16 checkrides across the midwestern states, 7 more scheduled later this month in the western states.

Applicants can also travel to historic Marfa (Landmark of Soaring #15) in southwest Texas for a FREE Glider Checkride for PVT, COM, "Initial" CFIG and CFIG renewals or reinstatements this winter or anytime, year-round, near the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park.

Let's discuss details and dates, here, there and everywhere!

Just giving back . . . just because.
Hi Burt, I know you are far away. I didn't to inconvenience you too much : - ) thanks though and will keep you on the list. We are still flying our new tow plane on a new airfield and working out operational procedures particular to the area. I suspect the first checkride will be in either October or November. Several to follow until the weather shuts us down.

Burt, I compliment you on the "Just Giving Back", just today I read the "History Of Miami Gliders, it brought back some great memories. Bob
"History Of Miami Gliders" .... sounds like something I would like to read. Is it a book or magazine article?

It was the straight-out 1-26 flights by Harry Senn and Bourbon Rouse that inspired me to set the Florida Sports Class free distance record. Harry mentored me as to the forecast conditions...the resources don't even exist anymore, presumably because they've been replaced by something better.

Wow the new functionality of Google groups is awful.

You can still return to the old version - from within the settings menu. It will ask you why you want to do that, and that gives you a chance to tell them what you want improved in the new version. My main complaint: no ability to send a private message to the author of a posting.

Thanks,

Just returned to the old format!
